Good Friday and Easter Monday, Nora.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Is 10 holidays a year pretty standard? Because I'm wondering what we don't get off to make room for Mardi Gras. I always thought it was Memorial Day, but that's on the list this year.

State offices are officially closed on Monday, but because I work for the Lege (even though most of the Rs are going to be in DC), I have to be here.

My next official holiday is Memorial Day, but my problem is not so much no days off technically as finding 6 weeks that my company can spare me so as not to lose the vacation days that won't roll over.
I think we get 8 official holidays plus a floating holiday (since our office doesn't close on Good Friday).

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I used to have that long haul to memorial day - HATED IT! That is what drove me to start taking vacations in Feb.

Sniffle. I used to do the annual President's Day weekend vacation to attend the Bronze Posting Board Party. February is gonna feel very odd this year.

I have to horde my vacations days, in case the trip to Greece in June actually happens. Luckily, the Feds have a fair number of three day weekends scattered throughout the year.

Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
No MLK day off here. I'm at that nasty point where the next day we're closed is Memorial Day.
Yup. I'm in the same boat.

We get Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years plus two "personal holidays". So 10 is generous in my book.

This is me, though 4 weeks instead of 6. But I normally just have to take random days off here and there throughout the year to not lose any of my time.
Back to the radio station thing, I still mourn the loss of Rock 103.5 here in Chicago and it's been years.

Has anyone ever sold stuff (used books) through Amazon? I want to unload books in a way that maximizes my income while minimizing my hassle.

Good to know. These are city holidays, I don't think I had this many when I worked for corporations.
I'm still sad about The Underground (99.9 in Sacramento) going away. Must be 10 years ago that it got bought out and switched over to Spanish language programming. They told the listeners about a week in advance, and the DJs had complete freedom to play and do whatever the wanted on the air. The last song was the Sex Pistol's version of My Way.
